Didn't record it, but I once pulled it off on Class Wars. We were defending at stage 1 and, because it seemed impossible to win Spy vs Medic matchup, I tried to pull off Coffin strat for shit and giggles. Stayed near those boxes for 3 minutes straight before they realized what prevented them from capping.
What happened is that Creem got hit and so his model (along with its collision box and hitboxes) shifted away from the coffin. It's why you can see the Demo go inside the coffin as he swings again. The sword hit the wall.
Doing the Coffin strat on Halloween mode is obscene since the Coffin straight up looks like an in game prop on certain maps. I would definitely do a part 2 of this when Scream Fortress 2024 comes out.
@@Demanteq its already been almost a year since the coffin came out, and people still have no idea. Spirit Halloween's started setting up their stores a month ago, i dont think time is moving by as slow as you think
The box is bright and always has a team color associated with it, making it stand out on most maps. The coffin, on the other hand, is a neutral color and texture, able to blend into darker props on more maps, if in the right spot... also no team colors. Also at certain angles enemy sentries will target you, but shoot ABOVE YOU, being able to waste its ammo. It's insane.
Spy: *hides in cardboard box* Enemy Team: *eviscerates Spy immediately* Enemy Team: Get your solid snake wannabe outta here, your strat is dead! Spy: *respawns* Dead you say? Spy *hides in coffin*
@@foodaah it's not mocap, it you can see only the hands and head are tracked, and it's moving like a vrchat character, along with the camera that you can hold in vrchat
can i just say having your "avatar" be just the robo soldier instead of your main played class with 3 unusuals is SO refreshing. along with how animated this little guy is i love watching him emote
Best reason the coffin taunt is better than boxtrot It blends in 100% on all halloween maps, making detection near impossible, even if players know about it.
Oldest meme strategy? There is the meme strategy of spraying something "worth looking at" and then backsatabbing the distracted player as spy and sprays are older than the box trot taunt.
Hold up, are you using VR/Mocap for your Robot Soldier Animations? That's a fucking genius way to get away with microstutters and weird artifacts in the motion.
@@subhuman2433 They already made Prop Hunt in TF2 a while back, it was an absolute disaster because of sentries, airblast, ubercharge, etc. They'd have to restrict most of the classes for it to be viable.

@@MoreCreemSmile if you use the taunt while standing on a teleporter the coffin will disappear and the spy will be lying flat on the ground, use this info wisely
On 2fort, when this taunt was relatively new, I realized this, and so through the means of dealing damage and than healing him, we managed to get the spy to be almost completely across the room from where his coffin was. Good times.
That was when I started playing this game. I started playing during Love and War. It feels like I'd been playing for a rather long time by the time Box Trot came out though. So strange how time feels different the older you get.
*every death within that box should trigger a random game over theme from Metal Gear Solid, because, why not?* (someone should mod it) Also, add long ladders.
Just want to say, your animated persona as Robot Soldier is AWESOME! I love how expressive it can be, even without a "face." It really made the video enjoyable to see your character in a unique way! Not to mention, the editing was GREAT! It's paced really well :D On the other hand, this was quite the video! Really informative and entertaining! Also, hilarious to see how players react to these little mishaps hehe! Great work! Have a wonderful day and God bless you :D
when we were playing with my spymain friend he used that taunt to clutch through longer cp rounds or mess around with the cart. sometimes ppl wouldnt even notice him despite being on top of it lol, it was a lot of fun. happy to get a reminder of those times, ty for the great video !!
Someone tried to use this on High Tower to push the cart well trying to resemble a corpse. And they would have gotten away with it too, if I wouldn't have recognized this taunt. :3
This is a really good video with awesome editing, I loved seeing real time movement of vr, reminded me a lot of therussianbadgers style of real life in an animated mimicry
One time on upward, I coffined right on top of the cart at the beginning, and I managed to burn a couple minutes off the clock. I think I got more praise from that than from any other game as spy lmao
There was a summer map last year or the year before with a little ramp that i managed to block the cart from underneath it for a good bit using the box, but it might've been patched
Never seen any of your videos before, but the animations, editing, commentary, all of it were amazing Now to go back and watch all of your other videos :P
Every time he says "They don't know" all I can think of is the spy in the corner in his coffin while the enemy team is partying around him, thinking "They don't know"
The problem is you keep hiding in the same spot (especially notable in medieval). Only use the CoffinTrot on maps/points where you can switch it up a bit when killed, otherwise they'll quickly figure out where to look.
using the robot soldier model is really clever, all the slight jitters from the program interpreting your motion just look like the way machines are animated in mvm.

@@MoreCreemSmile I respect it.
See, this is why Spy needs an alternative disguise kit that is just various props instead of classes. Prop hunt for spies!
YO that'd be sick actually
In TFClassic the spy did have something similar in which he would play dead instead of current spy's cloaking.
this would be cool for non-spy/enemy players too, it'd be another way to reward familiarity with maps
@@vicgc96 imagine the dead ringer did this instead. That would be interesting.
I cannot get enough of the mocap segments. KEEP IT UP GREEM!!

Yooooo it's the mario garden warfare TF2 corpse ahh voice guy! Love your videos!

That's a really cool detail, good catch!
Hold up, are you using VR/Mocap for your Robot Soldier Animations? That's a fucking genius way to get away with microstutters and weird artifacts in the motion.
probably a vrchat avatar
I feel like Spy having the ability to disguise as props on any given map should have been a feature to his class from the very beginning.
+ can capture/block capture while disguised
- cannot move
- no critical hits
Maybe it could be an alt Disguise kit? You lose the ability to become players but you get a pick of a few props
Prop hunt as a feature would actually be really funny, it's not like it would be particularly broken either
